This 2007 edition of Pindar's Pythian Eleven provides answers to the problems with the text, metre and interpretation that have prevented proper appreciation of the work. In addition to an introduction and commentary, the book has a text based on re-examination of the manuscripts, metrical discussion, and a translation.

Pindar's Pythian Eleven is a miniature masterpiece: a poem praising a young athlete which presents a vivid and important account of the Agamemnon legend. Yet it contains so many difficulties (of text, metre, dating and interpretation) that even Wilamowitz regarded it as one of Pindar's most obscure poems. This 2007 edition (the first full-scale treatment that the poem had ever received) provides answers to the problems that have prevented proper appreciation of the work. In addition to the full introduction and commentary, the book also has a text based on re-examination of the manuscripts, detailed metrical discussion, and a translation.
